A customer rep of a famous brand of very high end audio gear tells me that the silver models outsell the black ones substantially. This surprises me as I vastly prefer black. (Or maybe it should NOT surprise me :-o )
Anyway, FWIW.

ps: they do have to charge extra for the black, which might explain part of the difference in sales, except that in their price range the color differential cost is probably in the noise.
